Question
Dear Dr Shan
are there more side effects with the abortion pill taken by a minor (13 years old? is it more painful? where can it be obtained?

Answer
Hallo Stella,

There is no difference in action between minors and grown-ups.
But I would not advise the pill anyway. The procedure is long and may cause heavy bloodloss. It is easier fot you to go to Holland or look for an abortionclinic in Germany. Look t the pro familia site for addresses. The surgical abortion in Holland is done under total anaesthesia so less painfull. The girl does not need to stay in the clinic and can go home the same day.
I all the dutch clinics German is spoken.
Near the border are the clinics in Enschede and Arnheim.
Alles Gute,
Dr Shan
